Chapter 27: The War Begins

The door of the Pope's Hall finally rumbled open, and except for a few people, the big figures of the temple, including Catherine, walked out one after another, all with serious faces.

Not long ago, they received shocking news that the peace that had lasted for nearly three hundred years on the Mara continent had been broken, and the Land of Water and the Land of Fire had formed an alliance of fire and water to launch a war of aggression against Spite, the Land of Wind.

This incident was so sudden that neither the Temple of Light nor the Edel royal family could get any information in advance, and everything was without warning until the news came.

The peace had lasted so long that even the big names of the temple were not prepared for it, and if it weren't for the news from His Majesty the Pope himself, they would have even wondered if it was a joke, if there was no such thing at all.

But apparently, this is no joke, and it is far more serious than they think.

The news announced by Pope Peter is not only that the neighboring country has been invaded, but also that there is a myth from the god of light, which is the root cause of the alarm bells.

According to the oracle of the god of light, this war will not only be confined to the earthly world, even in the temple.

At the same time as they heard the oracle, Pope Peter's emissary had already rushed to the capital of Edel, announcing that the temple would fully support the royal family in sending troops to the country of wind to help the neighboring countries resist the invasion of the Fire and Water Alliance.

It was only at this moment that Catherine and others truly believed that the ancient word war had reappeared.

"Is war really coming......

Catherine's brow furrowed, and she murmured softly.

Before today, she only thought about defeating Anastasia, only thinking about becoming a true saint, but she never thought about war.

The war was too far away from her. But now, all of a sudden, it's just around the corner.

His Majesty the Pope asked everyone to be ready, and that obviously included herself, as well as her paladin legion.

As a result, many of her original plans had to be changed.

What was radical can only be slowed down now. For example, her paladin legion, if she performs too well, it is difficult to ensure that she will not be targeted. If she gets involved in the war too early, she will be greatly damaged even if she is not completely destroyed, and she is not sure about others, but the second quasi-saint Anastasia will definitely not let go of any opportunity to hit her.

And what turned out to be just a small fight now seems to be able to develop by mistake......

The anxiety on Catherine's face gradually disappeared, she was not an ordinary person, and calming herself down was almost instinctive.

It was only after she calmed down that she realized that war was not necessarily a bad thing, at least for the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce she had just established, it was an excellent opportunity for development.

She has her own judgment about this war, believing that no matter how big the scale of this war will be, it will be difficult for the fire of war to reach the territory of Edel in a short period of time or even a few years.

As long as she makes good use of this time, the armor transformed by Jerry will become a steady stream of profits, and when the time comes, whether it is to help her compete for the Holy Maiden, or to use it in possible troubled times, she will definitely provide strong support.

Thinking of this, Catherine took out the Wind Crystal before she could return to her temple of the Holy Maiden.

"Come to me at once. ”

Looking at the handwriting that appeared on the wind crystal, Jerry frowned faintly.

He wondered if Her Highness the Holy Maiden would not regret it, and if the other party asked him to return the demon core now, it would really be a big deal.

On the one hand, he doesn't have the habit of handing over what he has in his hands, and on the other hand, he has already used up one, and it is the best quality one in it.

If Catherine had to ask him, what would he have made up for it, and he wouldn't have been able to make it up at all......

But Jerry thought about it again and thought it shouldn't be.

A contract has been signed between the two, and the other party, as a noble Holy Maiden, will not regret it. But when he thought of the profiteer's temperament that he showed at some point, Jerry's heart was a little out of bounds......

Until Jerry followed the guidance of the Wind Crystal to the Holy Maiden Temple, his heart was still full of emotions.

But all this disappeared after seeing Catherine, and with Jerry's ability to read words, he immediately saw that the other party was not trying to tear up the contract, but seemed to have something very important to ask him.

Catherine didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked Jerry, "Give you a month, how many sets of chain mail can you transform out?"

Jerry had thought about this problem for a long time, in fact, judging from the results of his experiments, as long as the water element was enough or the water attribute magic core was enough, he would have no problem processing a hundred sets of chain mail a day.

But he didn't plan to say it all, but narrowed the number down by seventy.

Jerry said, "A first-order magic core can be used on almost ten sets of armor, as long as the magic core is enough, I can transform thirty sets of chain mail every day. ”

"Thirty sets, that's a lot!"

Catherine was taken aback.

She originally thought that it would be good for Jerry to transform ten sets of armor a day, like the ten pieces she gave Jerry last time, and the other party used it for nearly two days, but she didn't expect Jerry to be thirty sets as soon as he opened his mouth now.

Thirty sets a day, isn't it at least nine hundred sets a month!

Catherine has an armor casting factory under her hands, and the number of armors that can be completed every month is barely over a thousand, but it is a team of hundreds of people working together to forge it!

Doesn't this mean that Jerry's ability alone is comparable to her entire armor casting factory, even if it is easier to transform than casting, it is really too exaggerated, and Catherine is a little confused.

Seeing the change in the face of Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, especially the sudden loss of concentration with a pair of beautiful eyes, Jerry couldn't guess that she was frightened by herself.

"Hey, if I tell you that I can do a hundred sets in a day, won't it scare you to death?"

Jerry wasn't going to say it directly, at least not yet.

Catherine let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Jerry with a more solemn gaze.

If the previous cooperation with Jerry was just an inspiration for her, and she belonged to the idea that if she could succeed, she would not lose much if she could not succeed, but now Jerry has become a treasure in her heart.

Catherine looked at Jerry with burning eyes, and repeated almost word for word, "Are you telling the truth?"

Jerry deliberately made a slight hesitation, which frightened Catherine, for fear that he would deny it on the spot, or say that he had misstated the number.

But right in front of her, Jerry nodded slowly and said, "That's right, if your subordinates do their best, there is no problem with thirty sets of armor a day." ”

"Good!"

Anyone could see how excited the Holy Lady was, and she threw something at Jerry with a flick of her hand.

The magic of magic is never just about attacking, and Catherine's strength is not necessarily much stronger than that of ordinary people, but under the effect of magic, even Jerry can't react to the speed of such things.

If this was an attack like a throwing knife, Jerry wouldn't even be able to dodge, but apparently Catherine was stabbing herself with a knife at the moment, and she wouldn't touch him Jerry.

Even if anyone dared to deal with Jerry now, her noble highness would be the guard in turn, and instead of Jerry protecting her, she would have to protect Jerry.

The thing stopped leisurely in front of Jerry, and it was in his hand, but it was a key.

"Your Highness, what is this?" asked Jerry, puzzled.

Catherine's eyes flashed, and she said, "The key to a secret place belongs to you from now on." You don't think I'm going to let you do an armor makeover at the baby team's station, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Catherine's own face quietly turned red, but only for a moment.

She was so excited that she unconsciously said what she called Team Zero in private.

"Come with me, I'll take you there first, and then I'll be the only one in that place besides you. ”

Catherine waved her hand after speaking, and a mist-like air mass suddenly enveloped the two of them together.

But in the blink of an eye, the mist vanished, and everything outside was clear again, but Jerry was keenly aware that something was different about the magical elements around him.

He was now extremely sensitive to the water and fire elements, and although he couldn't see what Catherine had done, he clearly knew that the water elements around him had increased several times, and it seemed to have formed a circle of barriers around them.

Catherine only saw the confusion and shock on Jerry's face, and she didn't think that he could still feel the change in the elements, and casually explained: "Don't worry, I just used a small magic mirage so that others can't see us." ”

"Invisibility?" Jerry was taken aback.

Catherine nodded and said, "It can only be regarded as barely, but this kind of mirage can only bluff the layman, as long as it is an official priest, it can easily see through it." ”

"That's pretty good!" Jerry sighed.

His yearning for magic was already imprinted in his bones, and besides his yearning for the extraordinary power of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, he was most interested in stealth and flight.

Jerry looked around in amazement, but apart from the anomalies of the elements in his perception, his eyes really didn't see the slightest flaw.

And those people who came outside now looked at them, and all they saw was nothing, and they didn't know that there were actually two people in front of them.

Along the way, sure enough, none of the warriors in the Knights' garrison noticed them, as if they didn't exist at all.

But as Catherine said, this mirage can only barely have the effect of bluffing, and when they meet Deputy Head Andrew who came out to patrol, the other party seems to notice something, but turns away with a faint smile.

Jerry thought that Andrew might have discovered them, and thought that Catherine had made them, so he ignored them.

It's just that Andrew's reaction is very abnormal, and generally subordinates either hurry over to meet when they notice that their boss is over, or they can't figure out the other party's intentions and are honestly afraid, so why don't they turn around and leave, right?

Unless Catherine usually does this often, Deputy Head Andrew has long been used to it.

Jerry looked at Catherine curiously, but was glared at by Her Highness the Holy Maiden.

"This is it. ”

Carrying Jerry to a place, Catherine raised her chin and spoke softly.

Jerry was holding the key and looked dazed, there was clearly a mountain in front of him, where did a secret factory come from.
